What season is more suitable for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal treatment itself is not limited by season and can be done at any time.

But most of us look forward to showing smooth skin when wearing short sleeves and skirts in summer, and hair removal has to be done several times and lasts for several months to complete, so hair removal in autumn and winter will be more suitable.

The reason why laser hair removal has to be done several times is that the hair growth on our skin has a certain cycle. Laser hair removal is aimed at selectively destroying the hair follicles of the hair in the growth period to achieve the effect of permanent hair removal.

As far as armpit hair is concerned, the proportion of hair in the anagen period is about 30%, so one laser treatment cannot destroy all hair follicles, usually, 6-8 treatment courses are required, and each treatment interval is 1-2 months.

In this way, after about 6 months of treatment, hair removal can achieve a relatively ideal effect, just to welcome the arrival of the hot summer, and you can wear any beautiful clothes with confidence.

In addition, the climate in autumn and winter is dry. When putting on and taking off clothes, friction can cause static electricity, and thick hair is more likely to aggravate skin friction. When applying makeup, girls with more facial hair are more prone to powder sticking, so hair removal in autumn and winter is not only to prepare for the upcoming spring and summer but also to relieve the troubles caused by the current autumn and winter hair.

In terms of skin care, hair removal in autumn and winter can effectively reduce potential side effects and skin problems. Moreover, hair removal has a certain cycle, and autumn and winter hair removal is just a rainy day. If you wait until summer to think about hair removal, you are already grinding your guns.

There are many ways to remove hair. To sum up, there are mainly five kinds of hair removal: razor shaving, beeswax hair removal, depilatory cream hair removal, laser hair removal, and hair removal instrument hair removal.

Shaving with a razor is the oldest form of hair removal. Whether it's an old-fashioned razor or the current several-layer razor technique, the hair is essentially cut off with a knife to reveal smooth skin. Although shaving with a razor is simple, there are several problems. First of all, the razor has a certain lifespan. After the razor becomes blunt, it is easy to shave the skin. Although the skin is smooth and new after shaving, it will grow out after a few days, so I have to shave persistently. What's even more frightening is that the newly grown hair piles are black and thick. If left untreated, they will look thicker than before shaving.

Beeswax hair removal, this method of hair removal is also very simple. Use beeswax or another jelly to melt and paste on the skin. After drying and forming a film, tear it hard, and the hair will come down together. There are also hair removal stickers that can be bought on Xbao, which have a similar principle. Beeswax hair removal can last for a long time. But pulling out the hair by the roots is really painful. What's more, this method of hair removal can easily damage the hair follicles and cause folliculitis. So it is not something ordinary people can afford.

Depilatory cream is a popular method of hair removal. It is painless and easy to use, avoiding the bloody disaster caused by the improper razor. The core ingredient of the depilatory cream is calcium thioglycolate, which breaks down the structure of the hair and softens it. After a few minutes of application, the hair is easily wiped away with a cotton pad. However, calcium thioglycolate is irritating to the skin, and its smell is not friendly.

As medical beauty becomes more and more popular, laser hair removal has gradually become the object of everyone's consideration. The principle of laser hair removal is to use a high-energy laser to burn the hair follicles so that they hair follicles lose their vitality. Laser hair removal works well and lasts for a long time. But it takes several times to get the effect, and the fee is not cheap.

The last hair removal method is the hair removal device. The principle of the hair removal device is similar to that of laser hair removal, which also uses high-energy optical fibers to burn the hair follicles. However, compared with laser hair removal in medical and aesthetic institutions, the energy of the hair removal instrument is lower. Although the burning sensation is weaker, compared with laser hair removal, it takes several times to have a significant effect. Of course, compared with laser hair removal, the hair removal device is not only safer but also lower in terms of use cost and time cost.

Why autumn and winter are suitable for hair removal

As we mentioned earlier, the principle of the hair removal device is similar to that of laser hair removal, which burns the hair follicles and deactivates the hair follicles. Specifically, the hair removal device emits light of a specific wavelength. These rays penetrate the skin and shine into the hair follicles. The black hair in the hair follicle absorbs light and converts the light energy into heat energy, and the temperature of the hair follicle rises rapidly, resulting in necrosis of the hair follicle. The hair loses the soil on which it lives and then falls off.

During this process, the temperature of the hair follicles instantly rises to 70 degrees. Such a temperature will cause some damage to the surrounding skin more or less. So after hair removal, the skin tends to become sensitive. Therefore, although the hair removal device is safe and effective, it still needs some maintenance.

In spring and summer, the sun is strong, the intensity of ultraviolet rays is high, and there is a lack of protection from clothing. High-energy ultraviolet rays irradiate the skin, generating ROS in the skin. These ROS damage the skin, induce skin cells to produce cytokines and cause idiosyncratic reactions. Make hair follicles and surrounding skin worse. Relatively speaking, the intensity of ultraviolet rays is low in autumn and winter, and there are clothes outside, so the skin that has just been depilated is well protected.

At the same time, spring and summer are relatively hot, and the skin is prone to sweating. The sweat secreted by the sweat glands can easily irritate the hair follicles that have been treated for hair removal, and the probability of causing folliculitis is also higher. Relatively speaking, the temperature is low in autumn and winter, and the sweat secretion is less, which avoids the risk of folliculitis.
